Missouri Travel Day

I knew there would be couple days of this trip that did not lend themselves to as much experience and adventure (even though we seek those things in the mundane). Sometimes you just have to sit in the seat and ride. This was one of those days. We left Kentucky and headed to Columbia, Missouri. I tried to put our longest driving days at the beginning of the trip and I'm so glad I did! We still had the sense of adventure and anticipation to get us through this driving day. 

 Our Indiana gifts were magnetic games from Aunt Holly and Jungle Chris!




 Our hotel in Missouri was not the largest so we left immediately to find a park. Success! This was a great one! 




 I love finding awesome slides!



 He kept sliding the tiger down before him and chasing him down :)

The brother-through-the-legs trick


 The "luge" was a popular move



 
The very predictable slide injury



Big brothers are great!




We left Missouri Thursday morning and headed to Wakeeny, Kansas. What would a Rimbey road trip be without stopping at an NFL stadium (especially one right along the highway). They're no Steelers, but seeing the stadium where Patrick Mahomes plays was pretty exciting. Watching Trip here was worth every minute. He was on cloud 9 the entire time (along with his Dad!). The kid just loves sports and wanted to take every single picture he could.


 



 Illinois gifts were silly putty... good idea?





 Kansas gifts were light sabers and man were they a hit!



The Kansas Windmills. So many people warned me about how long Kansas can be but I actually really enjoyed this state! Next stop (and it's a good one), the farm!
